Original job description
Your Opportunity:
Rocky Mountain House is a friendly, multicultural town that provides residents with an outstanding quality of life in an active community. Less than an hour west of the city of Red Deer, Rocky Mountain House is the gateway to the David Thompson Country/Recreation Area, as well as Banff and Jasper National Parks. The area is rich in outdoor recreation opportunities with camping, fishing, hiking, geocaching, golfing, sightseeing, adventure tours to name a few! The town’s slogan is where adventure begins for good reason! You must check out the Rocky/Nordegg Trail and the West Country for a majestic mountain experience without the congestion of the national parks. As a Physiotherapist I in this community role, your time will be spent in mixed service streams that include Acute Care, and Outpatients. You will be expected to communicate and collaborate with the interdisciplinary team regarding your clients in the various service areas. In this role you will be supported by the Clinical Lead, Allied Health Area Manager and Physiotherapy Professional Practice Lead, with opportunities to connect with professionals in surrounding areas. You will provide clinical direction to a Therapy Assistant and may, on occasion, be offered the opportunity to provide clinical placements for Physiotherapy or Therapy Assistant students.
Description:
As a Physiotherapist I (PT), you will provide therapeutic interventions to enable clients to achieve optimal physical function and independence in the context of development, disease, disability, chronic conditions, illness, and functional decline. You will provide interventions, including prevention, triage, screening, assessment, diagnosis, goal setting, treatment, management, education, consultation, fostering resourcefulness, case management, referral, and transition support, to individuals, groups, populations, and communities. You will include clients and families as integral members of the healthcare team, encouraging their active participation in all aspects of care. You will collaborate with patients and families to determine, implement, and evaluate appropriate rehabilitation strategies. You will participate in a variety of interprofessional teams to build awareness, enhance supports, and engage in quality improvement, partnering with healthcare providers, patients, families, and other stakeholders to advance services for clients. You will contribute to quality improvement and the professional community, participate in peer mentoring, and supervise students. You may provide clinical supervision to Therapy Assistants, Therapy Aides, and Provisional Physiotherapists.
